Conducting vulnerability assessments of USACE projects to climate change impacts is a foundation of this program. The results of the vulnerability assessments will assist in prioritizing further actions, and will feed information to the other teams. A peer-reviewed vulnerability assessment methodology will be developed based on input from the other teams and applied to pilot projects in river basins, coastal regions and ecosystem projects. The lessons learned will be used to improve the vulnerability assessment methods and develop the adaptation performance evaluation method.
